From a slacker... OUR SUMMER UPDATE!!

So... Iggy Summer 2010 ROCKED!! It went fast & crazy & we have never felt as happy & grateful as we have spending our days with our sweet ladies. As requested, here are a few pics of our house at Bear Lake, where we spent as many moments swimming, playing, and shake-eating as possible. WE LOVE IT there! I spent my last summer in Kolob... a few weeks after camp, I was released as YW Pres. It was a humbling & awesome opportunity & I will forever love "my" girls. We went to Disneyland, where the girls met Mickey for the first time & we got to be in the parade. Don't ask why... it's so tiring telling people again and again how famous & important we are. The girls have been enjoying their sister time-- Mara looks out ever so protectively for her little sis. And though there are MANY moments I feel I might lose my mind, there are even more little moments that I am struck by that strange reminder of just how different life was just 2 short summers ago... wow-- life flies!

Yay for us that no more Y.W.= more blogging! Super cute!!! Love the new house! It looks great. Both girls are darling! Maybe a little strange that I cried while watching the pictures. I totally miss you guys! But we are looking forward to seeing you when get out there to visit! Did I mention that your girls are so stinking cute? I need me some Mara time! I miss her! Looks like she makes a great big sister! Glad you had a fun summer!

So cute!! love the pictures, you guys are the cutest parents, and I love that you go to Disneyland and take your cute girls. They are both so beautiful. Love the new house, and i hope you have lots of fun memories in there. :)

I am so glad that you updated... makes me miss you guys. The girls are sooooo cute! I need to come visit, actually I am coming Thursday with Josh, no kids. Will you be around? We could stop by for a few. We need to catch up I think there is some celebrating we need to talk about... and no it's not that I am prego :) Love ya! And totally love your lake house, thanks for posting!

Our Story...

Our fairy tale begins like this... Once upon a time, there was a lovely girl named Liz and a rambunctious boy named Josh. The day they met, they danced and from that moment, they knew that they would be dancing all their dances together for the rest of their lives. Ten years later, they are even more in love and blissfully living out their happily ever after.
